He always was in great situations to coach. I mean, seriously, how hard was it to coach Jordan and Pippen to championships? Or Shaq and Kobe? I really don't know where to rank him, but he always had the talent, and that certainly never hurt!

Phil Jackson is actually credited with having the know how to handle the games greatest players. When Doug Collins coached Jordan that team was going no where, but when Jackson stepped in he put the pieces of the puzzle together to keep the games greatest player happy. In LA Jackson fed both Kobe and Shaq with all the goodies they craved to keep them happy. That's what Jackson does best. He knows how to feed the superstars which it appears isn't always that easy for a coach to do. Look at Cleveland this past season. When the heated flipped on for the Cavs Brown couldn't find the cord to plug the air conditioning back in, therefore their season fizzled out without much snap, crackle, or pop.
